Although Hiss was convicted, he maintained his innocence until his death, and historians have taken sides ever since. In this groundbreaking and revelatory book, Jeff Kisseloff brings new perspective, evidence, and accusations to this historical controversy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRewriting Hisstory\u003c\/i\u003e is a firsthand account of how over fifty years, beginning when he worked for Hiss as a college student in the mid-1970s, Kisseloff was eventually able to determine the truth about Alger Hiss. With the skills of a veteran reporter and the analytical mind of a scholar, he brings to light a wealth of original material, including 150,000 pages of mostly unredacted previously unreleased FBI files--which he sued the FBI to obtain--and other documents from government and library collections around the country. Kisseloff also acquired a key piece of evidence: Woodstock 230099, the machine that the government claimed was used to type the copies of State Department documents placed in evidence against Hiss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaken together, Kisseloff has pieced together the truth, showing that Hiss was neither a Communist nor a spy and that the government knew it. But if Hiss didn't produce the documents that were placed in evidence against him, who did? After careful research and by applying a process of elimination used in classic crime novels--who had the means, motive, and opportunity to do the job--Kisseloff points his finger at the only people who fit all three qualifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn act of vindication for one of the most divisive figures in the twentieth century, \u003ci\u003eRewriting Hisstory\u003c\/i\u003e is a thrilling political page-turner about an accused spy that is itself a work of scholarly espionage, built on decades of painstaking research.
